Apple - Single Drop Apple Depositor

• Precisely depositing fruit fillings, such as apple, into pies, tarts, or other baked goods.
• Dispensing viscous products like batters, yoghurts, or fondants into individual moulds or containers.
• Portioning sauces or purees in food manufacturing processes.
• Filling confectionery items with precise amounts of liquid or semi-liquid centres.

Typical depositing volume

Typically adjustable, ranging from a few millilitres up to several hundred millilitres per drop, depending on nozzle and piston size.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase electricity, often 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product viscosity and deposit volume, but single-drop units typically offer moderate to high speed for individual portioning.

Footprint

Generally compact, suitable for integration into existing production lines or as a standalone unit, but exact dimensions will vary.

Construction materials

Typically manufactured from food-grade stainless steel for contact parts to ensure hygiene and durability.

Control system

Commonly features a user-friendly control panel, often with HMI, for setting deposit volume and speed.

• What types of products can a single drop depositor handle?

  This type of depositor is suitable for a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous products, including fruit fillings, batters, yoghurts, creams, sauces, and fondants. Product consistency is key for optimal performance.

• Is this unit suitable for products with particulates, like diced apple?

• How easy is it to clean and maintain?

• Can the deposit volume be adjusted?

• What kind of accuracy can be expected?

Food depositors are valued for their precision, consistency and reliability in portioning applications across bakery, confectionery and prepared foods sectors. Buyers typically prioritise machines with minimal wear, clear maintenance histories and compatible control systems. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, adaptability to various product viscosities, and straightforward operation. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting nozzles, pumps and pneumatic components is essential, as wear directly affects deposit accuracy. Machines from reputable manufacturers with documented service records generally command buyer confidence and deliver strong long-term value.
